Campaigning during COVID-19: Mayor Janet Gott talks 2nd term, 2021 election differences
Herald Democrat
Denison's Mayor Janet Gott won a decisive victory against challengers Matt Blackshear and Al Gilberti during Saturday's May 1 elections. Still, she said running for office during a global pandemic posed its own challenges, and while her reelection bid was successful, she learned some things along the way.
Gott received 83 percent of the 692 votes that were cast, effectively securing her second term as mayor.
"The results are very exciting and I am grateful and humbled by the support shown by our citizens," Gott said Monday. I look forward to the next three years and the opportunity to serve the community I love. For sure, I am happy the campaign is over so I can get back to work moving our community forward."
